Question Sata power connector dilemma

[Lil’bertz]

im planning to buy a SSD but my power supply only has 2 sata power connectors one for the mech hard drive and one for the optical drive
yes i know i should ditch the optical drive and put it to the new SSD but i also use the optical drive i dont want to buy a external optical drive cus i already have a internal one
is there any way that i can keep the three of them with out sacrficing on drive or buying a new PSU 3 sata power connectors?

What PSU do you have that only has 2x SATA power connections?

I'd probably say something like this would be your best option.

Just don't buy a molex to sata converter

This raises the question.....Why?

Do you have a serious dislike for the rest of your components?
Or a desire to witness a small scale mushroom cloud in the back of your PC?
